One or two of my RIRs laid yesterday for the first time as well. I missed 1 dad-blasted day, then find 2 beautiful lil' eggs hahahaha...

Welcome to the site!

Very good explanations and reasoning. The fact that you get not only tips, but the reason why and how the tips work is great. I have personal experience with some of these methods and can say that I have seen most of these work very well. The link for breed info was also a very helpful addition...

Thanks for all the info, the girls are all almost grown so ill probably go w/ a hard wire fencing w/the poultry wire then another level of poultry wire to make a 7 foot total fence for the outer run.

Thats true, when i lived in AL we had all our birds covered but in PA i havent really gave it a thought thanks.

They answer like dogs, i just dont want em runnin round the whole property while im not home. Thats why i did the bigger run fer em, but i worry bout them "explorin" the neighbors gardens an all.

Even for just a small "outside" run? I like to leave it open because were "inside" city limits and theres literally 0 threats to the girls.

Heres the setup, hard to tell but the coop has a door and the outer run is 4ft high.

They really havent figured out true flying, its like a jump an flap like crazy haha. I'd like em to have some jumpin room an hawks arent really a problem, but i wanted to see ehat others are doin.

So i have 8 RIR's and they have figured out they can jump/fly over their 4ft high run fence. Question is, would it be best fer my girls if i go higher fence or a cover net?

There's deff some one that can help, welcome to BYC!

Sorry to here the news, if ya need somethin just give a shout.

Thats like my RIR's they were so darn ugly at first but now theyre all a deep red w/ like 3 black tail feathers...
